Michelin introduced bundle of free mobility apps to assist travellers

Michelin has introduced MICHELIN Mobility Apps, a bundle of free applications to assist people whenever they travel for business or pleasure. Already available in France, it will be launched in Germany, Spain, Italy and the United Kingdom at year-end.

Boulogne-Billancourt, France, 15-10-2013 — /EuropaWire/ — Right the beginning, Michelin broadened its scope of business to become a travel companion, assisting, supporting and guiding motorists wherever they roamed. Building on its experience in personal mobility products and services, as attested by the more than 50 million visits to its travel assistance websites every year, Michelin is revisiting its mission by enhancing it in 2013 with even more comprehensive services.

At some point every motorist has to choose the right tire, get advice on servicing and maintenance, prepare and calculate an itinerary, or find out the latest weather, traffic and road hazard information. To provide support at every step of the way, Michelin has introduced a bundle of six free applications.

MICHELIN MyCar – Helps motorists prepare their journeys with complete peace of mind, by offering a tire and vehicle servicing guide, support in choosing the right tire and locating the nearest dealer, and weather alerts to improve itinerary planning. It also delivers a wide range of Michelin advice for maintaining and equipping a car, as well as for enjoying a safer, more comfortable drive.
